Now get your forgotten Gmail password in SMS on your mobile

Many of us have at one time or another forgotten our Google Account password and had to recover it. Google has made this password recovery process easier by including the SMS to Mobile option. Now you can give your mobile number in Google Accounts and have your password sent in a text message.

First you need to turn on this feature for your Google Account. Gmail users can access this feature by going to the Google Accounts homepage through Settings –> Accounts and Labels–> Google Account Settings. Or you can even directly access this page by going to Google Accounts.

In the Personal Settings section of this page, choose change password recovery options. (see the screenshot below)

In the following webpage, click on “Add a mobile phone number” in the SMS section. Here you can give your country and mobile number information for password recovery. Don’t forget to click ‘Save’.

Next time you forget your password, go to the password-assistance page, enter your username , and Google will send you a recovery code in an SMS.
